[QUOTE="Coy Franks, post: 1192880, member: 11220"] DNS, in my experience you are not going to achieve bullet retention unless you bring up your speed. I've been to this dance with a 308 and after trying everybody's bullet from 125's to 180's the only thing that I could get to work was with a Nosler 125 gr BT running 3000+fps. This was with a 24 in barrel so a shorter barrel is going to knock off plenty of speed. Everyone seems to get caught up in the bigger is better game of bullet weights including myself. I think if you will go to a lighter bullet and pick up the speed you will have more tissue damage and the bullet will not come out the other side. Anyway it worked for me. [/QUOTE]
